Frequently asked questions

How do I install the server?

Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, install dependencies from `requirements.txt`, then run `playwright install` to download browser binaries. Start the server with `python server.py`.

What runtime dependencies are required?

Python, the packages listed in `requirements.txt`, and Playwright (which downloads Chromium, Firefox, or WebKit).

How do I take a screenshot of a specific element?

Use the `POST /session/{session_id}/screenshot` endpoint with a `selector` query parameter (e.g., `.my-element`). If no selector is given, a full‑page screenshot is taken.

How can I monitor browser console logs?

Connect to the WebSocket endpoint at `/session/{session_id}/console`; the server streams console log messages in real‑time.

What transport and authentication are used?

The server uses REST (HTTP) for most operations and WebSocket for console log streaming. No authentication is described in the README.
